Privacy Policy
01Scope
This policy explains how StandWatch AI ("StandWatch," "we," "us") collects, uses, and shares information when we operate after-hours AI voice and text answering services on behalf of home service businesses ("client businesses"), and when you visit our website.
StandWatch AI answers calls and sends texts on behalf of the client business a caller is trying to reach — for example, an HVAC company using StandWatch to cover its after-hours line. Where relevant, this policy distinguishes between the caller (the client business's customer), the client business itself, and the client business's staff.
02Information we collect
From callers
- Name, phone number, and service address provided during a call
- Call audio, recordings, and AI-generated transcripts
- The nature of the request (e.g., "no heat," "routine maintenance") and any details volunteered during the call
- SMS content and delivery metadata, when a text is sent or received
From client businesses
- Business name, address, and contact details
- Staff/technician names and phone numbers, for dispatch and emergency alerting
- Dispatch rules, escalation preferences, and service-area configuration
From our website
- Information submitted through contact or demo-request forms
- Standard technical/log data (IP address, browser type, pages visited)
03How we use it
- To answer, qualify, and triage after-hours calls on behalf of a client business
- To route emergencies and routine requests according to a client business's own rules
- To send confirmation and alert texts related to a specific call or dispatch event
- To maintain records of consent and call handling for compliance purposes
- To operate, maintain, and improve the reliability of the service
- To respond to inquiries submitted through our website
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements
We do not use caller information to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell caller or client data.
04SMS & calling program
StandWatch AI sends text messages in two situations: confirming a request with the caller, and alerting a client business's on-call staff to an emergency. Consent for each is captured separately and only when affirmatively given — a caller is verbally asked before any confirmation text is sent, and staff opt in during their employer's account setup.
No mobile information is shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information is not shared with any third parties.
Message frequency varies based on call activity. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out of texts at any time, or HELP for help. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Calls may be recorded and, where required, we disclose that a call is being handled by an automated system before proceeding.
06Retention
We retain call recordings, transcripts, and SMS consent records for retention period — confirm with counsel to support compliance, dispatch history, and dispute resolution. Client business account and configuration data is retained for the duration of the business relationship and a limited period afterward for legal and accounting purposes.
07Security
We use industry-standard safeguards — including encryption in transit and access controls limiting who can view call and message data — to protect the information we handle. No system is perfectly secure, and we work to address vulnerabilities as they're identified.
08Your choices
- Reply STOP to any text to opt out of future messages immediately
- Ask a client business directly to have your information corrected or removed from their records
- Contact us using the details below to ask what information we hold about you
Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights under applicable state privacy law. confirm applicable state-law disclosures with counsel before launch
09Children's privacy
StandWatch AI's services are directed at businesses and their adult customers. We do not knowingly collect information from children, and callers who identify as minors requesting service should be directed to involve a parent, guardian, or the client business directly.
10Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as StandWatch AI's services evolve. Material changes will be reflected by an updated effective date at the top of this page.
